Alfredo Aceves- Pure Winner

When thinking of winning pitchers in the game today, you likely go to Roy Halladay, CC Sabathia, Justin Verlander, etc. Far from that list is a relief pitcher named Alfredo Aceves, but truth be told, he's a pure winner.

Alfredo Aceves is a winner. The 28 year old right-hander is in his 4th MLB season and owns a 20-2 record. He started off with the New York Yankees (2008-2010) and is now in his first season with the Boston Red Sox. With only 88 appearances under his belt, this vulture relief pitcher sure knows how to swoop in and grasp the W in his talons. Nicknamed "Ace", Aceves owns the best winning percentage in the history of the game out of pitchers with a minimum of 20 decisions (91%). Amazing!
